Finally, after years of hard work alone in a dismal cell, my prisoners/scientists/indentured servants were able to create an engine that is capable of interstellar flight! I am now (it's about time...) able to reach the planets of our solar system, as well as the moon. My first act will be to set up vast mining facilities on the moon.
Can some of my trolls and I come along? There must be some caves there that we could explore. . . Also, will you be planning on spreading your mining to the asteroid fields? I hear they hold a more bountiful harvest of minerals and metals.
Yes, I shall need miners for my expeditions and trolls would seem to be good for that. I suppose I could also use trolls as soldiers if I encountered any hostile beings.
I will expand my efforts to asteroid fields in the future, but for the moment I am looking at the moon's vast helium deposits and seeing if they would be viable as an energy source. If I can tap into them before other people do, I can dominate the market.
So.... does anyone wish to buy my exports from the moon?
*Swoops down in starship and drops moon gravel on Izeroth's head*
A little behind the times, aren't you?
Russ as your first officer I would advise you not to unnecessarily intimidate the enemy. Your actions may force him to become unnecessarily hostile.
Oh, come on... You have to admit, *Pushes up goggles* it was funny.
*Sighs and shakes head* You are the most incompetent starship commander I have ever met. Really it is not worth it if we start a war because of it.
Meh......
Hah, did you hear him? He has interstellar drive technology, and his plans are for lunar freighting. Surely he'd take on grander missions if he was well defended. 'The stars are made of latinum.'
Wha........?
(Basically, that was several references and some slightly flawed logic)

I am currently capable of much grander things, but I want to start small first. My military technology is a but outdated, but I don't need amazing weapons, considering that most of my neighbors are still in the Iron Age.
*looks at the smoking ruins of a Neolithic village*
I am lost.
Obviously, considering that you have no map. Everyone knows that you don't travel to Izeroth's kingdom without a map..Or, maybe they don't. Either way, 'tis your fault..
Aye, Aye, Aye.
*Turns to Faiy* See? Outdated military technology. Ours is perfectly up to date- Just like our salvaging arm. By the way... *Tractor beam emitters open up and slightly rusted side-clawy bits unfold* Are you using that starship for anything?
Russ you are forgetting The prime directive. We can't get involved. If he violates our rights feel free to retaliate but as of now he is causing no harm.
See? See?! I'm not causing any harm! If you continue antagonizing me, I have full rights (per the treaty of August) to wipe you off the face of the moon with my missiles. I've done it to people in the past, and I would not hesitate to do it again if need be...
Anyway, what's the problem here? I'm just trying to take full control of the moon's resources... It's not like I'm trying to take over the world here. I'll do that later on.
Anyway we are far more advanced then he is. He poses no threat to us as of now. However I would advise monitoring his progress.

Surely you remember that we
commandeered and modified this ship?
Doesn't even fly straight... We're sideways, not that it makes much of a difference.
That is because you failed your Basic Engineering courses at the Academy and we are working with a skeleton Crew. ::)
We need an engineer and I told you that before we left port.

As the resident astronomy/planetary colonization expert (Colonizing Mars is my ultimate IRL ambition) I can tell you colonies on Luna are worthless, and I already took Mars. Luna doesn't have light available in a way useful to agriculture (no atmosphere or magnetosphere to protect from radiation), no water except for trace amounts from asteroids in craters, no metal ores... In short, the only thing valuable on Luna is H3, used in making super-efficient nuclear fusion reactors- which would still make a colony unprofitable.

Wylder you look like you have a good potential. Would you like to join us. We are in need of a good crew and I need some one to help me keep Russ from destroying us all. Having a hard enough time as it is keeping this thing running.
Mars has no magnetic field, my friends. Any artificial atmosphere that is made will get blown away by solar wind. With no atmosphere, you'll have to stay huddled inside your colonies. And, contrary to what you may think, Luna is profitable. The vast h3 deposits will be very profitable if I can monopolize them.
:P I meant Wylder... Not tam XP

It's the ships fault the com system is been having problems for the past few days... One of the reasons we need an engineer ASAP! RUSS! This is your fault you know.
It is not his fault. He is a nice person.
He failed to see the necessity in having an engineer on board as a result the ship is falling apart!
I do have engineering experience... I'll think about it.
As to you, Izeroth, Mars does have a magnetic field, albeit a weak one... But still strong enough to support my terraforming industries, which even now are powered by nuclear fusion power generators from dueterium mined from here- not as valuable as H3, but present about a thousand times higher levels! My agricultural systems are flourishing- Mars actually has very rich soil, and the higher concentration of CO2 kicks their efficiency up 50%! Now what do you say?

There's enough h3 on the moon to power the Earth for a thousand years. The humans are looking for "green" power, and I can provide it to them for a ridiculously high price. They won't be able to complain about the price, because my fleet is capable of shooting down the weak spacecraft that the humans have.
Even the most "high tech" human ships are no match for my troops.
No, no they are not. However, I am. At least, I would be, if Faiy would fix the machines... I mean, really, you're the one who passed first-level engineering class. I didn't hire engineers because I didn't know you were almost as inept as me.
Regardless, our photon torpedo banks are still functioning, as are most of our phasers... *Presses button* Tam, Wylder, either of you. You any good at engineering? Seriously, we're incompetent when it comes to fixing things. C'mon. Wylder, I'll help you with your colony. Tam, I'll... Give you a laser or something? Yeah. Join me and I'll give you a phaser and/or disruptor. Yeah. Space guns.
QuoteI mean, really, you're the one who passed first-level engineering class.
Just barely. Not that I didn't try. Never was to good at that class... The professor didn't help. Besides that was a long time ago and I have forgotten most of it. Never needed it. Oh sure I know all that is necessary to be first officer but to fix a warp coil or a transporter... nope.
I am not good at that type of mechanics. I am a Car engineer. Not a spaceship one.
That would be of no use to us...
That is why I live down on earth.....
Smart choice...
So.....What is it like living in space?
Just marvelous. ;D There is an endless number of possibility's. and out of that endless possibility I had to be stuck with captain incompetent here.
I see.
Very fascinating indeed.
Oh, yes, it's great fun. *Shoots Faiy a glare*
Tam, you can join us if you like. You can even bring some of your antique transportation vehicles if you like.
Perhaps you people would like to arrange a deal with me? I provide you with a portion of everything I get off of the moon and future expeditions, and you provide me with a portion of whatever you sell. Additionally, I will sign a treaty promising that I will not launch an attack on your ships or attempt to conquer your holdings.
Um... Seeing as the only people you could sell it to have not developed nuclear fusion yet... That would not be too profitable...
Sure, Rus, I'll come aboard. I'm a decent hand, and I could use some adventure. My martians are developing fine without me.
Just so you know, though, I use lasers, fusion rifles and plasma blasters. None of these wimpy stun phasers or whatever. While ship phasers are fine, I really prefer anti-matter warheads and plasma cannons. I do happen to have a few...

I am getting very close to discovering fusion, and when I have a working reactor I shall give it to the puny humans as a gift. The humans will naturally copy the design and build reactors everywhere.
Not if "Most of your neighbors are in the iron age."
Ah. Good to have you on board. I'm not opposed to more powerful weapons, but I don't think we have anti-matter missile launchers- If I'm not mistaken, and I may well be, photon torpedo launchers are less cautious than anti-matter weapon protocol will allow...
Regardless, fight hand-to-hand with what you want, as long as you carry at least one stun-capable weapon.
Izeroth, I don't sell anything. I take things sometimes, though... Why would I buy your goods that are of no use to me when I could just take them?
RUSS! really. *turns communication off so that the others can't hear* We are military force lets provide him with protection against hostile forces in exchanged for him not attacking us or the federation and his goods might not be of use to us now but I can see him growing fasts he may find something useful to us and in that case we will get a share of it (Without a fight). I would like to put a few precautions in place. We will only aide him if another force is the aggressor. If he is being attacked and the other parry started it. If he is the one attacking then we will not help him. I think it is a good trade it will keep him out of our hair. Now *Turns com back on*
Wylder The phazers have a wide range of setting the lowest being a mild stun, the middle a strong stun and the highest being a strong kill. So you see they are both. Now prepare to be beamed aboard I will lock on to your signal and meet you in the transporter room in three minutes.
*goes to transporter room 2*
You ready?
*sighs*
I guess...
I really hate teleportation.
I will consider joining Rus. I happen to like Earth.
My apologies I would send a shuttle craft for you but the hanger doors are in disrepair. I am beaming you up... now *Beams Wylder up* Welcome aboard. ;)

Sorry, already took it. Integrated brainwave receivers so the whole thing is thought controlled. 360 degree camera vision and integrated data arrays. Powered by compact deuterium fusion reactors. Solid state shield projector. Auto-targeting laser array mounted on the shoulder. Manual high-power laser emitter on the arm, along with a plethora of weapons and tools in the wrists. Rocket launchers in the shoulder plates.
Yeah. The works. I've had a bit of time on my paws...
I meant the actual armor and materials, genius. I'm obsessed with metal and the use of it, not the technology.
Metals? That's outdated. Composite polymers is where it's at. Far easier to manufacture, form, and sturdier than metals with much more controllable properties. Metals we only use in large-scale structural functions. They are otherwise mostly superannuated.
Composite polymer would be great if I could large-scale build them, but I can't. When you field an army as large as mine, you have to think about quantity and not quality. Unless the nearby volcano starts raining polymer, my metal resources far outnumber any composite polymer I have. Additionally, I've found that metal is able to withstand direct blows, while polymer is more subject to breaking.
Not if you can manufacture it right. Proper engineering technique and knowledge of the application of layers of different polymers for different properties are essential.
Anyways, if you are working purely off lunar elements, you got a raw deal, as 95% of the moon is just SiO2... Rock. You also have to use enormous amounts of power to separate the silicon and oxygen into useful forms.
It appears you haven't experienced the supermetals the trolls have forged under your feet. Well, since you're so satisfied with your polymers, I won't share any information with you.
I need none. Polymers are superior to any metals for this sort of work. Anyways, forging itself is an outdated process.
I am not merely working off moon metals. I have at my acess one of the greatest mountains In this forum, as well as a long plain filled with many minerals.

. . . And are in trade with the trolls, who can supply you with the supermetals.
Indeed, it is beyond me. Troll science can be described in two words: incredible pigheadedness! You are so devoted to metals and forging that you spend all your energy trying to un-outdate them!
Wait... I don't think un-outdate is a word. Re-date? Aw, who cares.
So you think. You don't know much about the lives of those under your feet except which I have told you.
I'm on Mars or, as of currently, in a starship. No trolls under my feet there.
It's an expression we make referring to all surface dwellers.
Enough! *Interrupts communications between Scarzs and Wylder.* Now If you two can't get along I will have t sever you communications. And thank you Scarzs for your offer. At the moment we are under going repairs and upgrades so some of you metals may be of some use to us. If the need arises we will be sure to open negotiations.
Well, as long as you have a means of paying me, then I can help.
I am sure we could manage something. Perhaps helping you develop polymer technology... ;)
We could also provide transport if you wish to colonize any other planets.
Give us a planet that you have been unable to mine too deeply due to your inferior human mining.

*a small metallic key appears in Izeroth's hand*
Here is the acess to the mining base on Neop IV. The surface is full of mercury-like lakes, and the ground is made of near indestructible volcanic stones. Happy digging!!
I'll take that one as well.
Like I said, we may provide suitable transportation for your people and there supplies. The planet you wish to colonize must be uninhabited or the aria where you wish to live unreachable. Just be careful not to cause to much seismic activity down there. No matter where you are.
Now I would like to know more in detail about what you have to offer?
Coreum- a red-tinted metal that is of light weight, and strong up to a shattering point from nine tons of pressure on an 1/2in. by 1/2in. square. Melting temperature of 5537 degrees F. Weight per cubic foot: 135lbs. Is notable for absorbing radiation.
Delvinium- A metal that will never tarnish, this dark silvery substance is the favorite of the Trolls for it's durability and workability, as well as it's epic color; it bends under twelve tons of pressure, but will never shatter. Melting temperature: 9729 degrees F. Weight per cubic foot: 150lbs. Very good for armor, as it is extremely protective against both explosions and resilient against lasers.
Karundan Metal- This is a most rare of colors for metal, bearing a dark green pallor. We have mostly used it for decoration, but it has strength, tending to be very springy after forming, and is useful as springs. Melting temperature: 4073 degrees F. Weight per cubic foot: 120lbs. Occasionally used for projectiles against magic-based creatures for arcane absorbing properties.
I am quite interested in this Coreum and the Delvinium. They could be very useful as armor hull plating... I believe we can reach an agreement. I would like to design a shuttle craft using these metals in its hull. I would like your help in forging these materials. In exchange I will transport those which you have selected to the colony planet sight.
Sounds reasonable. Add in some fresh meat and we can give you some Karundan metal in whatever items you wish for nothing else. Are we at an agreement?
Metals indeed will be superior for our large scale construction projects. However, for building strength-enhancing tech-integrated combat suits polymers are more valuable. The properties are far more controllable, they are as strong if more brittle, easier and far cheaper to mass produce and manipulate, lighter, and far easier to integrate with technology- chips, micro-computers and power supplies can easily be sandwiched into the suit.
Building a mechanized walker/suit is a completely different matter, however.
Um do you mind Replicated meat? Otherwise I really don't know how I could get my hands on it.
Live cows; if you can clone those, we're good.

The properties are far more controllable, they are as strong if more brittle, easier and far cheaper to mass produce and manipulate, lighter, and far easier to integrate with technology- chips, micro-computers and power supplies can easily be sandwiched into the suit.
Building a mechanized walker/suit is a completely different matter, however.
But making the metals work with your polymers would be beneficial.
However, I won't press the matter any further.
We shall trade two score of Helios's cattle for one ton of Delvinium and one ton Karundan, I am interested in making the first solar flight of my planet.

As soon as my army is fully built and all the strongholds are finished, this topic won't be so economical. I envision a future in which the other nations
cower before my might! have friendly relations with me, and where I can
get anything I want with a show of force negotiate fair trade deals. The other leaders will
surrender or die reach a mutual understanding of peace and tranquility...
And of course, in the end you will die a horrible violent death live happily ever after.
I would love to topple your empire and mercifully send you to an M-Class planet where you can live a simple life and never escape, as long as you don't make your death absolutely necessary have diplomatic relations as well.
Ach, again...
*Ignores the boys childish behavior.* Scarzs do you have a problem with replicated meat?
Not really.
Ach again, again...
It seems that we've reached a friendly agreement. Pleasure annihilating your planets and enslaving your people doing business with you all.

Good then I will have it ready for you within the hour.
